Another easy to build and quite efficient antenna is the H-DoubleBay by W4GRW, the antenna can be built for the HF or for the V/UHF bands, the original website disappeared in the internet limbo, but luckily was archived so a good copy is still available here http://web.archive.org/web/20210216050430...

Yes, I know it is possible to build yagis to cover the commercial FM broadcast range, but I was hoping for something more compact and more readily portable...
